This patch removes old 'Allocator_guard' utility and replaces its use
with the modern 'Constrained_ram_allocator'.
The adjustment of core in this respect has the side effect of a more
accurate capability accounting in core's CPU, TRACE, and RM services.
In particular, the dataspace capabilities needed for core-internal
allocations via the 'Sliced_heap' are accounted to the client now.
The same goes for nitpicker and nic_dump as other former users of the
allocator guard. Hence, the patch also touches code at the client and
server sides related to these services.
The only remaining user of the 'Allocator_guard' is the Intel GPU
driver. As the adaptation of this component would be too invasive
without testing, this patch leaves this component unchanged by keeping a
copy of the 'allocator_guard.h' locally at the component.
Fixes#3750
When updating the domain object of interfaces that stay with the same domain
during a reconfiguration, until now, the normal "detach raw" function was used.
This caused the old domain object to discard a dynamic IP config as all
interfaces detached. This caused interfaces also to discard network links
established with the old configuration although it wasn't necessary. Thus, now
we use a dedicated "detach" in case that an interface actually stays with its
domain. This new "detach" doesn't decrease the interface counter of the domain,
so, it'll not discard its dynamic IP config. If, however, during a
reconfiguration, there's no interface calling this function (all interfaces
move to another or no domain), the dynamic IP config is still discarded as
expected.
Fixes#3686
Until now, the DHCP client was called also for DHCP requests when an interface
had a domain but yet no IP config. Now, an interface distinguishes between DHCP
requests and replies first and then accordingly calls the DHCP server or the
DHCP client if they're available. This also prevents that the DHCP client has
to handle packet headers other than that of DHCP.
Fixes#3681
Let the DHCP client be a constructible member of Interface that is constructed
only as long as the interface is attached to a domain with a dynamic IP config.
This prevents DHCP client timeouts from a period with dynamic IP config to
trigger after a reconfiguration to a static IP config. Furthermore, handle
DHCP-reply packets at an interface only when the DHCP client its constructed.
Otherwise drop such packets.

This commit fixes the following issues regarding cache maintainance
under ARM:
* read out I-, and D-cache line size at runtime and use the correct one
* remove 'update_data_region' call from unprivileged syscalls
* rename 'update_instr_region' syscall to 'cache_coherent_region' to
reflect what it doing, namely make I-, and D-cache coherent
* restrict 'cache_coherent_region' syscall to one page at a time
* lookup the region given in a 'cache_coherent_region' syscall in the
page-table of the PD to prevent machine exceptions in the kernel
* only clean D-cache lines, do not invalidate them when pages where
added on Cortex-A8 and ARMv6 (MMU sees phys. memory here)
* remove unused code relicts of cache maintainance
In addition it introduces per architecture memory clearance functions
used by core, when preparing new dataspaces. Thereby, it optimizes:
* on ARMv7 using per-word assignments
* on ARMv8 using cacheline zeroing
* on x86_64 using 'rept stosq' assembler instruction
Fix#3685
net:
* increase queue size to 1024 (more stable on Linux)
* use mac address from Nic session instead of random one
* handle data that is larger than rx descriptor correctly (copy less)
* clear descriptor header (12 bytes) on rx
generic:
* always use 'avail_idx' (tx and rx)
* added barriers when reading/writing queues (TMP)
Ref #3620
We do not use the VMM with several CPUs until now.
On the other hand there is a dead-lock due to the
generic timer calling the cpu handler function explicitly,
which already holds the lock. For the time-being remove the lock.

- use Job API as block connection back end
- use Request_stream API as front end
- use Mmio framework for gpt and mbr parsing
- implement sync correctly
fixes#3652
This patch addresses a corner case where the nitpicker focus is not
solely defined by mouse clicks or (exclusively) by a window manager, but
by a policy component that takes mouse clicks and other policy (e.g.,
a lock screen) into account. It ensures that each click that follows a
focus change (however initiated) results in a new "clicked" report even
when the report looks the same. To allow the policy component to
uniquely distiguish subsequent reports, the report features a new
'version' attribute.
Fixes#3493
This patch let the VFS server reflect the session policy via the
writeable bit in directory entries instead of merely forwarding the bit
from the respective VFS plugin. This way, all files originating from a
read-only file-system session automatically appear in directory listings
as read-only files.
Related to issue #3507
This patch reworks the VFS server to become easier to understand.
- The packet-stream handling is hidden from the node types.
- Introduced the notion of a "job" as an abstraction from the raw packet
stream.
- The processing of requests is split into three phases:
(1) accepting new jobs,
(2) the execution of jobs, and
(3) the delivery of acknowledgements.
- There is no longer a global fifo of pending nodes. Instead, each
session has a fifo of "active" nodes, which are nodes that wait
for the completion of jobs.
- The Io_node type no longer uses virtual functions as hooks for
the derrived classes. Instead, it provides a number of utility
functions.
- The control flow of the 'Io_progress_handler' is now the same as
for the session-local packet-stream handler.
- Removed dependency from 'file_system/node.h', which is a relic
from the ram_fs.
While reworking the code, the following semantic changes were made
additionally.
- The handling of SEEK_TAIL no longer overwrites the file content at the
end of the file.
- Removed diagnostic message at session-creation time.
- Write loop for continuous files

Issue #2303
Uplink labels were stored in the uplink objects as reference. As uplink objects
may be re-used on re-configuration to avoid unnecessary closing and re-opening
of NIC sessions, the label reference could get invalid as the object that
stored the label content didn't get re-used. Thus, the label is now copied to
the uplink object.
Fixes#3529
This adds two new boolean attributes to the <report> tag of the NIC router
configuration 'link_state' and 'link_state_triggers'. The former decides
whether to report the link state of each NIC interface (downlink, uplinks) at
the NIC router. The other decides whether to trigger reporting each time the
link state of an interface changes.
Fixes#3527
If a MAC address was once allocated for a downlink and during the further
creation of the downlink an exception caused the creation to be aborted, the
NIC router didn't free the MAC address again.
Ref #3525
The handling of exceptions during session creation implies freeing and
detaching the RAM DS behind the session env and session component. But this
was done using the session env located in the same RAM DS, which must
lead to problems. Now, the session env from the RAM DS is copied to the stack
and the operations are done on this temporary instance instead.
Ref #3525
When re-configuring a domain from using a static IP config to using a dynamic
IP config, attached interfaces didn't react with doing DHCP discover. This bug
is fixed now and the nic_router_flood test was adapted in a way that it tests
the described behavior.
Fix#3518
Nowadays, we use standard command-line tools like vim to edit init
configurations dynamically, which alleviates the need for a custom CLI.
The CLI-monitor component was too limited for use cases like Sculpt
anyway.
The patch also removes the ancient (and untested for long time)
terminal_mux.run script, which used to be the only remaining user of the
CLI monitor.
Issue #3512
This patch extends the 'File_system::Status',
'File_system::Directory_entry', and the related 'Vfs' types with
the following additional information:
- Distinction between continuous and transactional files (Node_type)
(issue #3507)
- Readable, writeable, and executable attributes (Node_rwx),
replacing the former 'mode' bits
(issue #3030)
The types 'Node_rwx', 'Node_type' are defined twice,
once for the VFS (vfs/types.h) and once for the 'File_system'
session (file_system_session/file_system_session.h).
Similarly, there is a direct correspondance between
'Vfs::Directory_service::Dirent' and 'File_system::Directory_entry'.
This duplication of types follows the existing pattern of keeping the
VFS and file-system session independent from each other.
Moving the handling into the input-session clients enables more
sophisticated implementations (like Qt5) to apply key-symbol based
handling of those modifiers like correct CTRL-A with QWERTY and AZERTY
layouts and distinction of CTRL-J and Return.
